My current series Filtered is my commentary on changing perspectives to put the mind at ease after a trauma, specifically death. I hope to relate to the viewers on a topic that is casually suppressed and difficult to converse about. I hope to build a bridge with the viewer and help them to know they are not alone in their coping/grief methods. 

The blotches of color, like a paint-by-number, create a sense of conflict and turmoil, which when paired with the bright arbitrary colors, adds to the sense of slight unease. My paintings portray images of DeLand and Stetson University which were where I really experienced the intense confusion and conflict in my personal grief. These paintings helped me to explore how I really felt all the time; there is not purely sadness when coping. These paintings express the moods and conflict that tends to be overlooked.
